Organisational Agility

Influencing Behaviour. Secondary Factor.

Overview

Traditional organisations are often structured hierarchies. Complex problems require a different way of organising the enterprise.

The fundamental differences of an agile organisation are in its network structure, culture, and design. An agile leader understands:

  • What an agile enterprise looks like – a focus on agile product management over traditional, linear project management methodologies.
  • Approaches for implementing the agile enterprise in a traditional organisation.
  • How to balance the needs for agility with the existing reality of traditional organisational structures.
